Museum Visit Encore

Hello from Colorado 

I am in the States now for family business, but here are some more pretties from my visit to the Victoria and Albert Museum a bit ago.

The famous Three Graces

This photo is terrible, of a small painting under glass, but the expression is perfect: the painting is entitled “A Naughty Child.”

Queen Victoria herself, or a good likeness anyway.

This is what one gives to one’s queen to celebrate her jubilee. Gold plated silver, from a military company. 

The photo is through glass, but that is the museum experience. You can still see the amazing craftsmanship of the sculpture.
